*Not Accepting This Title

In 1981, with only a few albums under her belt, Amy Grant released In Concert, Vol. 1 and 2. The double issue was somewhat premature because she had yet to find her real niche in the music industry and only sparked a few minor hits. (Her big break would come later the same year when she released her massively successful Age to Age). Hearing Grant speak live to the audience, she conveys a tone of shyness; her words are powerful, but somehow we wonder how much power she has inside her to back them up. Most of the songs center on grace and thanks to Christ, though other songs, like the inspirational ballad 'I'm Gonna Fly,' are ambiguous. The album is mellow and tranquil, reminding us that Grant was never big on personality or range, especially in her earlier days. Her rise to fame came from determinedness and a humble spirit. It is soft and spirit driven music which will inspire the impressionable to hang in there through tough times, and the believers to keep strong in their faith. ~ Peter Fawthrop, All Music Guide
